Description
“The city hall at Canby is a good example of a municipal building designed to accommodate most of the departments of a small community.
The structure provides quarters for the council chamber, light and water departments, police and fire departments, and adequate storage space.
The construction consists of concrete foundation walls, brick exterior walls above grade, and frame floors, partitions, and roof. All trim is wood.
The building was completed in March 1937 at a construction cost of $10,850 and a project cost of $11,642.”
